Thrilled to be settling in here at St. John's College, Cambridge, for a week of Tom Nasherie and Marlowe-related side-quests! For now, I plan to catch up on sleep so I can enjoy every minute. Let sabbatical begin!

TFW you get up at 3am on fire with an idea to improve a situation that you thought would be a lost cause. You write furiously to craft a well-balanced proposal and get it off at 6am. It is now 6:36 am ... and you are WAITING for a reply...

I asked Copilot to generate an image based on my thoughts about this morning's writing efforts. I specifically mentioned fruit salad - perhaps because I dropped the plot, or I am hungry for breakfast. But the composition freakishly captures a hermeneutic crux I'm thinking about. I dig it. #amwriting
